A novel association between angiokeratoma corporis diffusum and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency

Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum refers to symmetrical clusters of minute red papules in a "bathing trunk" distribution and is considered the cutaneous hallmark of Fabry disease. Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency is an autosomal recessive sphingolipidosis, which presents with massive hepatosplenomegaly, pulmonary infiltrates, and skeletal abnormalities. We present the unusual case of a 12-year-old girl with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency who developed characteristic lesions of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum.
